I've been listening to Dr Living Dead a lot lately. They're a newer crossover thrash and their singer sounds way too much like Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies, which just so happens to be exactly what I love.

My favorite thrash band has always been The Haunted, in particular their first three albums. I don't know the goon opinion on them, likely they're considered to be so well known that it's like recommending Metallica, but at least listen to their first album, "The Haunted."

I'm looking for some industrial / thrash metal with clean vocals.

Any recommendations? I like Fear Factory, Annihilator, Sabaton, old Metallica, and Maiden to name a few.

It's not exactly clean vocals, more shouty really, but one pretty well known thrash band that toyed with an industrial sound for a while is Kreator. Personally, I only like a few albums from them (coma of souls and some songs from the two newest ones) but it's worth taking the time to hear some of their stuff from their different periods.

Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while but better late than never. I just wanted to throw out some bands from my local scene, Wilmington NC, aka the Cape Fear region (Home of Weedeater, Sourvein, ASG). The new crop of heavy bands here isn't extreme metal centric, and somewhat surprisingly, there haven't really been any sludge bands coming up. I guess Weedeater just casts a pretty big shadow here. The style in the up and comers is more of a throwback to the 70s and early 80s with a lot of hard rock influence. That might send some of you running away screaming but others might be into it! This isn't intended to be an advertisement, I just think this a great, unique little scene in the wonderful world of Southern US heavy metal and I wanted to rep it a little.


Mortal Man: Doom/Stoner concept band based around a narrative about the rise and fall of Mortal Man and the Champion of Forever. Sounds kind of weird but the narrative concept is done very well, and they have great riffs and an awesome singer.
http://soundcloud.com/mortal-man

Salvacion: Traditional Metal/Hard Rock band, throwback to the 70s and early 80s. Think Rainbow, Scorpions, Priest, Di'anno era-Maiden.
http://www.reverbnation.com/salvacionrocks

Children of the Reptile(yes this is my band, but we're good! Honest!): Traditional Heavy Metal with some southern rock, bay area thrash, and progressive moments.
http://www.reverbnation.com/childrenofthereptile

Atolla: Pretty new band here, has a definite upbeat stoner vibe. (Think along the lines of the Sword, Torche) Their recordings aren't professional and they don't have a singer, but goddamn, they've got some amazing riffs.

Check out anything from Havok, Toxic Holocaust, or Municipal Waste for new stuff. For old school there's Testament, Exodus, and Nuclear Assault, among many others.

I also want to recommend these bands, they're the flagship bands for modern thrash. Havok's album "Time is Up" is pretty good, though there's a few old school Araya like screams on a song or two. Another great modern band is Warbinger. If you go to shows a lot in the states, odds are you've seen them at least once since they have such a relentless touring schedule. All of their albums are good, but I personally love their two newest ones "Waking into Nightmares" and "Worlds Torn Asunder." Oh, and I can't mention modern thrash without recommending Vektor. I don't even want to explain them, because I don't want to pigeon hole them into any group or category. Just go out and listen to them, when you get the time.

There's a lot of great, old thrash bands. From the super-underground, only made one EP kind of bands, to the legendary thrash titans. You almost can never go wrong. But since I'm a big fanboy of this band and their lead guitarist, I want to recommend The Haunted. Their first album is straight up thrash with good catchy riffs. The recording is pretty bare-bones, and the songs are your typical 2m30s slugfests. Their next two albums are really good too, but the vocalist changed and their style also became a little heavier, more death metal like. It's a really heavy, hard hitting sound but it's not for everyone. I personally like their first vocalist better than their second one. After those two albums they got back their old singer and changed their sound to a more slower style. They still have a fast song or two on each album, but the past four albums haven't been as good as their first three, in my opinion.

Oh man, the black waltz is such a bad album compared to Swamplord and They Will Return. For the Revolution was also really bad. I remembered there being one really good song on that album though. When I went to look for it I found out that it's actually a Sepultura cover but because I never got into them I just didn't know it was a cover until now. Either way that was the only thing I even cared for on that album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wl7qndLb2g

12 Gauge was a good return to the band and I like the rhythm guitar tone they used. It just sound so much harder hitting than the guitars on Black Waltz and For the Revolution. I'm kinda looking forward to their new album now.

In The Constellations of the Black Window is an amazing album and got me back into grind/noise after I bought it. Vanitas is on my current list of albums to purchase if it's as good as everyone says. Basically they satisfy that whole "be as heavy, fast, and extreme as possible" itch that I want from metal.

and also our lord and savior Bathory's first album and Nifelheim's first album as well. I don't want to bog down this already dumb post with too many embedded youtubes.

Now I know you guys have to have some bands that have that fast, blackened, and old school sound. Bad recording is ancillary, it completes the vibe but I so much love for the production values to be above "our neighbor recorded us with a four track player and it was also raining and he's kinda deaf."

Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNa1o8oQQAE is just beyond awesome right now to me.

The first time I started liking gravelly vocals was actually a ska-punk band that I loved back in high school. That lead to lovely crust punk and then metal soon followed. I was looking through my old rear end ipod on the way to work one morning and remembered I had this, gave a listen and thought the songs still held up (mostly because I still knew all the words even 6 years later).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZajHtadE4I

If it had a little more variety to the drum beat and some more palm muting during the verse it would be some straight up crossover. It's a shame the band doesn't really write many songs like this one since their bass player has one of my favorite vocal styles.

Also to that guy that recommended Nocturnal Breed a while back: yes yes yes this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much.

I've seen Amon Amarth live before and they're pretty fun. The show was Amon Amarth, preceded by Goatwhore, preceded by Skeletonwitch, preceded by The Absence which wasn't on the billing but I guess were convinced to drive from Tampa to Orlando to play. I was excited to see the Absence play because I always ran into those guys at guitar center or going to a lovely mall record store to buy their album and then having their singer be really fuckin excited about it because he worked there.
